I snapped a couple pictures while I was out today. I seem to have gotten an odd glare effect from the sun coming off the snow, but this still gives a general idea of what it's like in my quiet little snowbelt town.
This is the buried car I mentioned above. Look carefully and you'll see a small portion that's visible in the upper center portion of the shot:
The same car from the other side is just a vaguely car-shaped snow bank:
Yet another car, this one in the process of being consumed:
and finally, for reference, a Honda Civic with the snow in back actually a few inches taller. Note that the parking spot has literally been carved out of the snow bank:
Sorry for the crappy quality. My camera phone isn't so hot. All the same, that ought to give all the Floridans and Californians an idea of exactly what you're missing.
